Star Kissed Shadows, Divining Poetry: Climb into this book like one would a warm bath for comfort, sensual pleasure, buoyant lightheartedness, and a lasting reminder to enjoy the moment. Open the book at random for insights. If you are ready to deepen your love of life and language, this book is a must.

“Sher's words are those of a woman who loves life, a woman who in her wisdom years knows how to fully embrace and express her playfulness, sensuality, and no-holds-barred honesty, acute observation, and love without judgment. I often pick up Star Kissed Shadows and with eyes shut and intuition open, turn to a page that always speaks to the moment, to the question of my heart. This is a book to carry around with you, to leave by your bed, or keep on your desk. Her poems remind us that we can have a life fully lived.” Kay Hogan, Seminar Leader, Caregiver
